Not sure if this is a unique case, but it absolutely BLOWS to be the single person responsible for everything tech in a company besides hardware (hexbear.net)

It honestly seems like people have forgotten what all tech entails with the rise of generative AI.

Like holy shit man, people (at my company at least) now think you can write a program to control what is essentially your entire database system, security and business analytics with chatgpt.

Maybe I’m just not meant for this and this is the norm. But it’s taken me like 2 months to get a handle on three different types of API and program documentation. And I’ve also been doing like sys admin work too.

But three jobs in, and I’m starting to realize this is exactly what companies want. Because why pay multiple people for work in a department when they can just offload everything to one person and pay them nothing and know that the economy is so fucked that you’re basically trapped

Like I integrated one system to another for my senior project in undergrad and I had a little help on that from another business. But now I’m doing it all alone and being expected to work at super speed at the same time

It's not. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people who can do what your employer asked but they live breathe and think code and their career. Like read entire textbooks/research papers in free time, comment on Hacker news dedicated

Everybody wants a 10x coding rockstar but nobody wants to pay a coder 10x like a rockstar

Blame the passionate people who live to work and pour their entire life into bootlicking the company because all they know is to touch machines and not grass
